Free College Hoops Pick: Arkansas at Tennessee

This is a good matchup for the uptempo backcourt of Arkansas, which is averaging 75 ppg behind its two guards, Courtney Fortson and Rotnei Clarke.

The Razorbacks take on a Tennessee team that has been overvalued for a while – the Vols are on a 4-9 ATS run, including 3-6 ATS their last nine as a favorite.

Have to back the hungry and talented visitors. Play Arkansas.

College Hoops Betting Preview: Duke at Maryland

No. 4 Duke (25-4, 12-2 conf.) visits No. 22 Maryland (21-7, 11-3 conf.) in a showdown of the top two teams in the ACC on Wednesday (9 p.m. ET, ESPN).

The Blue Devils are in the hunt for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and a win at Maryland might seal the deal. The Blue Devils have won eight straight overall but they should get a very tough test at Maryland.

Duke is listed as a 1-point road favorite at SBG Global and the total is set at 148.

The Blue Devils got 21 points from Kyle Singler and 20 points from Jon Scheyer on Sunday as they beat Virginia 67-49. It was the 14th time this season that Duke has had two players or more score 20 points in a game.

Earlier this season Scheyer had 22 points when Duke won 77-56 at home against Maryalnd. Singler is averaging 19.5 points per game in his last eight games while Scheyer leads the ACC in three statistical categories. Read More…

Free NBA Pick: Celtics at Pistons

Boston’s defense has been improving with Kevin Garnett rounding into form and they face a Detroit team that can’t shoot – the Pistons are ranked No. 27 in shooting (.439%).

The Celtics get Paul Pierce back for this game and he has reportedly looked great in practice. Meanwhile, Detroit’s Richard Hamilton (flu) and Jonas Jerebko (left ankle) both sat out Monday’s practice and are less than 100 percent.

Boston enters this game coming off an embarrassing home loss to the miserable Nets. Have to back the angry visitors. Play the Celtics.

NBA Betting Preview: Pacers at Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers will look to win their 11th straight home contest on Tuesday as they host the Indiana Pacers (10:35 p.m. ET).

Considering that the Pacers are one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference and the Lakers are the best team in the Western Conference, that shouldn’t be a problem. Covering the pointspread, though, is another matter.

SBG Global is a veteran in the online sports betting business and is one of SharpBettor.com’s trusted partners. SBG offers up to an incredible 295 percent in sign-up bonuses.

Lakers are listed as 12-point favorites at SBG Global and the total is set at 208.5.

The Lakers are coming off a big win on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets even though Kobe Bryant was held in check. Kobe is averaging 27.5 points per game this season but he is only averaging 21.3 points per game in the last four. Read More…

Free NBA pick: Hawks at Bulls

Atlanta has decided to give up on defense down the stretch, or perhaps they are tired, allowing over 100 points in four of the last five games. They had to play yesterday, as well, going to overtime against the Bucks.

Atlanta is on a 4-9 ATS run and takes on a rested Chicago team on a 6-2 SU/ATS run. Have to back the rested and hot home team. Play the Bulls.

College Hoops Betting Preview: Oklahoma at Texas

The second half of ESPN’s Big Monday has Oklahoma visiting Texas (9 p.m. ET, ESPN). Neither team has played well of late but at least the Longhorns can say they are going to make the NCAA Tournament.

The Sooners don’t have much to look forward to as they probably won’t be making a postseason appearance. They have lost six straight overall and they are 1-8 in true road games this season. In their last six losses, the Sooners have given up an average of 82 points per game.

Texas is coming off a 74-58 loss at No. 23 Texas A&M and they have lost seven of their last 12. Oklahoma beat Texas last month in Norman by a score of 80-71. That result seems unlikely on Monday considering the Sooners have not won a road game in the conference all year.

Texas is listed as a 13.5-point favorite at SBG Global and the total is set at 147. Read More…

Free NBA Pick: Blazers at Bulls

Both teams are finally healthy, at least on the offensive end of the court.

Brandon Roy is back for Portland and playing well; he led the team with 20 points the last game, a win at Toronto. One thing Portland doesn’t have is the defensive centers they started the year with because of injuries.

The Bulls have sparkplug guard Derrick Rose back and they put up 120 in their last game against Indiana. Chicago is on a 4-2 run over the total.

Look for more offense than defense in this matchup. Play Blazers/Bulls over the total.
